I have been making a game similar to mario for learing perposes. I got the sprite to move left right up down but I still have no gravity nor can I jump. But i need to know how to make it so that my sprite dosent go through objects?
View 3 RepliesI am currently making a small flood runner like game, I completed most of it, but I can't seem to get the jump action right. I got it to jump straight up and back down again, but it doesn't work when I use a left/right arrow key with it to perform a left/right jump. The sprite goes straight up if I only press space.What I want- The sprites goes up and right or left when I press space while holding right or left.
View 2 RepliesI Use the following code to detect if a sprite should be going up or down and the response
If (pos.Y + 100) >= Sprite.BottomY Then
Going_up = True
pos.Y = Sprite.BottomY - 130
End If
[Code]...
but it's pretty terrible. It only works when the sprite starts at the top, and when I want to change the BottomY and TopY, it just starts glitching. What is a better to detect if the sprite should be going up or down?
I've been trying to figure out how to create transparency in a sprite, i.e. with the use of a mask. Problem is, every tutorial I could find was either completely irrelevant or for freaking Visual Basic 1858.

I am creating a 2D RPG game similar to the pokemon interface. After solving my problem with walls, I came across another problem. If I make the panel show the whole map, it would be too small. Thus, I tried to increased the size to 1200,1200, but it wouldn't let me because my screen is smaller than that. Then I thought about it and realized that most games limit the sight of the map to the characters surroundings.

I have been searching the internet for a few days now, looking for ways to solve my problem, but I can't find anything. What I am trying to do is make my sprite walk. The way I did this was I made multiple GIF's with my characters different movements, but when I try to switch which ones are showing by releasing an arrow key, it does not do anything. Does anyone have a solution for this? My code so far is below, but it only lets me switch to the running GIF and not to the standing one.

I'm looking for on how to click on a sprite made button and have it change to a new menu in the same form?
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to find a way to get the Transparency of the character sprite to work. It always seems to take the background image of the form no matter how I tweak it.
View 15 RepliesI made a game in VB 08 and I have sprites and a background but I need to know how to make the background of the sprites transparent.I'd like to note that I'm using a picture box for my sprite, and the game is animated (I read that those things are relevant).I've read a lot on bitblting but I don't understand it, and when I found a helpful article it mentioned to use the .hdc. This article though was made before the introduction of GDI+ which now makes it harder to obtain said .hdc.
View 11 RepliesI am using vb.net by the way. From what I understand, Xna is not usable in visual Basic. Therefore, in order to create my characters, I defined a sprite class. Now my question is.... (I am drawing everything using a timer on the form btw by the process of invalidation.)... how do I use time to cycle through the images in an image array while the instance has no focus, and whilst the class inherits the "Control" class? Basically, how do i get these instances to act without user input? I want a character to eventually respond to user input, but I also need npcs that do not need any input in order to move themselves. Also, I need this in such a way that each instance's processes do NOT interfere with the processes of others. So that whatever timing I use does not also stall the whole window/form.
View 2 RepliesI there a way to catch clicks made with MOUSE4 and MOUSE5?Im one of the lucky lefties and I really hate installing 3. party drivers because they always screw up the rest of my pointing device setups.

I need to record the screen when my user clicks start, and stop recording when he clicks stop.I've searched for a while on this subject, and I have found nothing.I want to do this without adding any files to my project, I just want to use some built in function in Visual Basic, and start recording, or even take a snapshot and add it to an AVI file or something...These are some sites I have found:

I am new to VB and I try to create my first application to automate some clicks on a facebook game. My first problem is a loop: I created a recorder function, but if i activate my loop it loops endless (should take the number of loops from textbox). If I add a messagebox it works, but if I add PlayTimer.Start() its endless.

The 2nd question i got: How to handle the next function I am planning? I will try to explain it (look at the attachment picture): Because of different monitor resolutions I need a function that maybe draw a square to boarder the gameplay area, then record some coordinates that can be played by clicking on a button. (visit neighbor, reload game, visit next neighbor, ...)
Okay i'm working on a control panel for a game.And one thing the control panel does is actually opens the game.My problem is when running the program using shell() i run into the issue where it will run the game, but won't load the data from the config files it uses.I've also have this problem with a server that uses an admin.ini and a config.ini and doesn't load any of the data from those files.
I've tried using google over and over again, and no where did i find a website that can help me with my problem

View 3 RepliesI have aconsole application that executes 2 other processes, and then closes the processes once it's finished its work.
If the user closes the console application prematurely, the 2 other processes go rogue and sit idle (As they are expecting to be closed by the console).
Is it possible to detect when the user clicks the X or closes the console app in another fashion, so I can also destroy the spawned processes?

View 3 RepliesDo something like this
-User Opens program
-User goes to settings.(Settings has a bunch of RadioButtons)
-User Customizes settings, checks certain buttons. (How would I pop up a msg when the user clicks "Ok" with out checking something?
-When "Ok" is pressed, it will "save"
-When settings is opened again, the same RadioButtons will be checked.
Right now, if I exit the settings form, and open it again, the radio buttons are cleared

I currently have a few comboboxes in my project that on the 'Dropdown' event, I have them show items from a database that I have bound to the Combobox, I have tried this on several other events too with the same result.The problem i'm having is when the user clicks the dropdown but doesn't select anything, it automatically defaults the first item in the combobox although nothing was ever really selected so what I want is the combobox to remain blank UNTIL they click on an item in the dropdown, is there a way to avoid this? Is there some code I can place in the combobox's selected indexchange to prevent the first item in the list from appearing unless it was actually physically clicked?
